Yes, export will currently always use Full Res if Full Res and Proxy clips are Online. The other possible workaround is to select all clips in the Project panel or Sequence, right-click and select Make Offline. This will also make all Full Res clips Offline, which will force export of Proxy.
We tried to the supported workflow functionality and known limitations in our documentation, understanding that we could not possibly cover all workflows in this release. There is an open feature request to s

You didn't need to move them ... preferred method is to select in project manager, right-click and choose "make offline".
Easily reversible.

Neil, could you explain this a bit further? I am trying to figure out how to do this. I am in the project manager and I can't see how to offline my clips or right click. I want to render just the proxies and looking for the workflow that won't require me to offline each source but only in one full swoop that's reversible.
a few observations on premiere proxies, would love to get a feedback on this:
1. proxies should be easier to detach:
currently you have to commit to another or remove it physically.
2. proxies should be easier to see if checked or not, in both project panel and program monitor:
you have to go through the process of adding a column header in the metadata display and adding a button in the program monitor... I believe that proxies deserve a better indication in both panels. in the project panel maybe right near the name. nifty icon maybe? in the program monitor something that's more visible. text maybe "proxy enabled"
3. proxies should be supported for subclips:
I see that if you want to proxy a subclip, it renders the whole media clip even if you select trim.
4. the presets workflow is error prone and exhausting:
the presets have fixed resolution and not "Half resolution, quarter resolution" i.e they do not have a resolution that is derived from the actually footage. which means you could run the error of creating a different aspect ratio type of proxy. in addition, the presets create H.264 proxies which kind of defeats the purpose of smooth playback because these are compressed files... also, adding a new presets means you have to create it in another software (AME) then in premiere open that preset from a file.
here's a comparison between Premiere's proxies and Ae's proxies:
in Premiere:
- the full information about this proxy is not visible until you right click->properties on the media
- no indication that there's actually a proxy until you add the column header
- you can't detach a proxy
- you can't render just the proxy without jumping through hoops
- presets are a pain
in Ae:
- the full information about this proxy visible right in the project panel
- very easily spot you have a proxy in the project panel with the square icon
- you can detach a proxy very easily
- you can render just the proxies in the render settings
- presets are very easily added in the software and attached to proxies
on a positive note, the whole seamless workflow of the proxies in premiere is really neat. you can edit and while you create them, the proxies are created for you seamlessly which is great. also, the integration of Premiere's proxy and Ae's runs smoothly in contrast to what it says in the help files (it does say 2015.3 - but this should be updated) .it states: After Effects and Audition interoperability functions are also not currently supported with the Proxy workflow. but in CC2017 I see that you can copy paste footage items and the proxy will cross over smoothly between the two apps which is neat. and of course
